Game of the Generation would have to go to a game that was responsible for changing the landscape of gaming as we know it.

No offense to either GTA V or TLOU as I am sure they are both fantastic games, but a game like Super Mario 64 would be my vote. It ushered in a whole new era of games, and was responsible for bringing gaming successfully into the 3rd dimension.

I think that is a fair shout, but I think that would have been the game for the previous generation. If we're going across all generations, why not go back a generation even further - I'm talking MarioKart on the SNES. I still have good memories from that. Not to mention F Zero which is worthy of a mention. Let us not forget Street Fighter 2 which I think laid some serious groundwork in terms of fighting games, but then we would be straying into a 'Best game/most groundbreaking ever' territory. The focus for this discussion was purely looking at the PS3/XBox 360/Wii consoles.

Yeah, I guess when I think of generation I am thinking more of all time. Fair enough debate for this console generation that GTA V and TLOU are the ones being considered as they were definitely two of the best games to release from the PS3/360/Wii class.

This generation I could never give it to gta after the broken multiplayer,it was that frustrating losing all your progress because rockstar felt fit to release a broken game.

the last of us sticks with me,the intro was unbelievable and ill never forget the way naughty dog broke up the play calming the nerves with a rabbit playing in the snow only to then be arrowed to death by Ellie,was like ND said enough of that back to the action.

I disagree. The Shadow Moses chapter was the only great chapter in the game, the rest were kinda meh. The boss battles, I found to be a huge letdown after MGS3's epic ones. The final battle of MGS4 irked me because it was too over the top that I couldn't take it seriously at all. What might had been the most epic fight in MGS history ended up like a bad martial arts film parody.

MGS4 is far from a bad game but it's a disappointing conclusion to a legendary franchise.

Mario Galaxy, The Witcher 2, AC4, Skyward Sword, Uncharted 2. These games are far more deserving in my eyes. TLOU and GTAV are still riding on the hype train because they were the latest entries (minus AC4 but everyone is tired of AC, still a damn great game).

Of all the games i have played the last 10 years TLOU was the one game that i didn't "play" it. It was more that i participate in something fantastic...thank you naughty dog for this opportunity and i would like to say that i wish everyone should experience TLOU.

Going to get a lot of hate for this but.... I did not like TLOU at all. To me it was very repetitive, over-long and just not fun or enjoyable to play. I know this is just my opinion but I am sick of hearing about it. The game was gorgeous, but I found it dull to play and a grind. I was willing it to just end.

I hate that naughty dog will not be able to ignore the hype and may focus on making sequels etc.

I loved the great bits of GTA V, it was amazing at its best, but also contained some of the most boring moments of gaming I have ever suffered - finding submarine parts/toxic waste side missions. As a whole, it offered little new.

It pains me to say it, but we all know, the most defining game of the generation is COD: modern warfare. That is the game that history will always remember in relation to 360/ps3

I was very excited for GTA5 from being such a fan from previous installments, but the story did not do it for me, I still need to finish it lol. Online was a good idea but again I lost interest pretty fast.

TLOU was a new IP I was eager to check out, and boy was I glad I did. TLOU was really the only game that had me throwing my PS3 at friends without one to experience it.

So between the two in my opinion is TLOU, but the best thing about gaming is its so vast in gamers and genres, a game that is special to one person may not be for another person. Gotta love gaming!

Modern warfare changed gaming. For better or worse, no other game had an impact anywhere near that level. Almost every game now has an awful multiplayer tacked on, directly because of modern warfare (including TLOU).

I am not some mega COD fan by the way. Just looking at it objectively.
